TUESDAY, DECEMBER 04, 2007

Beauty and the Geek: "And The Winner Is..." -- 8:00 pm ET/PT on The CW. Season Finale -- All 10 teams are back for a very special reunion and we reveal the team that America has chosen to become more than just a beauty and a geek.

The Biggest Loser: "Episode 413" -- 8:00 pm ET/PT on NBC. It's back to work for the remaining six contestants this week, as they leave campus to put all they've learned about staying fit to the test. Can they avoid temptations while working at a pizzeria? At the challenge, the contestants punch their way to new heights for a one-pound weight advantage. Then after a close weigh-in, the players must send another friend packing.

Bones: "The Man in the Mansion" -- 8:00pm ET/PT on Fox. Repeat -- Brennan, Booth and the Jeffersonian team are called in by the Bancroft family, major donors to the Jeffersonian, to investigate the death of Terence Bancroft, who was found dead at home, bound to his desk chair and maliciously stabbed. The team proves the body had been there for almost a month. Booth questions Terences wife, Clarissa, while the team brings the body and all the evidence back to the Jeffersonian for further tests. Hodgins removes an old photo of himself with the victim from official evidence so the others wont see it, knowing the photo links him to the case. When the case goes to trial and Hodgins involvement is revealed, the Jeffersonians reputation is jeopardized, prompting Brennan to make an important decision about her team.

Reaper: "Cash Out" -- 9:00 pm ET/PT on The CW. Sam secretly begins dating Cady, even though he fears she may actually be the devil's daughter. The latest escaped soul is a former bank robber who has come back to collect the cash he hid after his last heist. Sam, Sock and Ben capture the soul then find the stolen money, leading to an argument about what to do with it.

Dirty Jobs: "Dirty Innovators" -- 9:00pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Mike Rowe reviews his favorite jobs and the innovative and entrepreneurial men and women from around the country who have found interesting ways to get dirty.

Tin Man: "Part Three" -- 9:00pm ET/PT on Sci-Fi. Mini-series Finale -- DG seeks her father, Ahamo, among the outcasts of the O.Z. while a Longcoat ambush snares her friends, and Glitch discovers his contribution to Azkadellia's plans.

House: "Airborne" -- 9:00pm ET/PT on FOX. Repeat -- House and Cuddy board a flight back to the United States from Singapore, where they were speakers at an international conference. Shortly after takeoff, a passenger seated next to House becomes violently ill. While House brushes it off as a hangover, Cuddy suspects the man might have a deadly contagious virus and the other passengers could be at risk. Assuming the worst, Cuddy suggests the plane turn back and land, but House dissuades the flight attendant and the flight continues on. As the man's condition worsens, the rest of the passengers on the flight become increasingly uneasy, and so does House when a second passenger falls ill with the exact same rash and debilitating symptoms.

Yep, House is now in re-reuns for the rest of the year. "Airbourne" was one of my favorite episodes from the third season. It's fun to go back and look at how a show can change so much, particular since the team was intact back then. Be sure to take a look at Staci Krause's review for the episode, plus the reader review to get a better idea of how good the show is.

Boston Legal: "Oral Contracts" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on ABC. Denny Crane is arrested this time under quite unusual circumstances -- and asks Alan Shore to defend him. Meanwhile, Shirley Schmidt takes on the case of a shock jock who was fired for making an inappropriate comment while on the air, and Katie Lloyd begins to question whether Lorraine Weller is harboring a dark secret.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: "Snitch" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on NBC. When a polygamist's wife is killed, the Nigerian national fears his testifying in a separate crime may have led to his wife's murder. Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler investigate only to find a website exposing potential witnesses to the other crime leading the SVU to believe that his cultural tradition may be the root cause of his wife's murder.

Nip/Tuck: "Damien Sands" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on FX. Jealous over Sean's new-found fame, Christian convinces Sean to tape a reality show based on their careers as plastic surgeons.
